• In the afternoon we learned how to scale measurements for a model of tree guards.
  
• Scale is the process of making something big into something smaller while keeping things in proportions.
  
• We had to measure out the length and width of the sketch and the whole thing.
  
• I had worked on the sketch that Carlos had on the board.
• The first step was the define the scale, a scale of a quarter means that 1 foot equals a quarter of a inch.
  
• The second step is converting all feet measurements with inches into feet measurements with decimals.
• The last step was to multiply the feet measurements with decimals by the scale.
  
• Next time we will work on a model of the sidewalk that my classmates survey last class.
